An Ümlarific Mother's Day marked my first mini sessions of 2013, and I am happy to announce that it was a resounding success! The event took place at Playful Grounds, located near College and Christie. As with all of my sessions, my mini-sessions are lifestyle-centric, and while some folks have a hard time getting their heads wrapped around the idea of unposed photos, the lovely ladies who attended the sessions were more than happy to oblige. After all, it's a lot easier to have fun and play with your child, than it is to put on a stuffy, fake pose. Though I have to admit that in my line of work, I'm a teensy bit biased... While I had a couple of repeat customers come out for the event, it was mainly new faces, and whether new or old, they were all a pleasure to work with! Here are a few session highlights.

The best part about this type of session is that I got to tell moms to play with their children. Easy-peasy! Check out some of these awesomely playful mommy-child moments:
